Cherry's dichotic listening experiment suggested that the processing bottleneck occurred

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cherry's dichotic listening experiments involved presenting different auditory stimuli to each ear simultaneously, and participants were asked to focus on one ear while ignoring the other. Participants were able to accurately report physical characteristics of the ignored stimuli, such as gender or pitch, but were unable to recall their meaning or semantic content. This suggests that there is a bottleneck between perceptual processing and semantic processing, where only one channel can be processed for meaning at a time.
